Aston Villa outline North Stand reunion plan for 1897 Group

Aston Villa intend to offer the 1897 Group the opportunity to purchase season tickets together once the redeveloped North Stand opens. The club shared this intention during a Fan Advisory Board meeting on August 20, with meeting details formally published on September 23. Stadium redevelopment works had previously disrupted the group's seating arrangements for the 2026/27 campaign following a successful trial in the Lower North Stand.

The plan remains an intention rather than a finalized allocation, with specific seat numbers, ticket prices, and application processes yet to be determined. Aston Villa also announced plans to meet with the supporter group during the ongoing construction period to help maintain engagement and discuss matchday atmosphere.
